Under the super- vision of Mr. Wait and Mr. Tait, the Club got under way in September, with the following executive: president, Eddie Back, vice-president, Doug Falkinsg secretary, Irene Tonking treasurer, Betty-Jean Layton. Room 14 was used for the business meetings, while Room 8 became the C1ub's dark room. In September an enlarger was purchased and during the year an endeavor was made to pro- duce enlargements. Due to poor working facilities and insuf- ficient supplies, the Club has been greatly hampered, but pro- vided many group pictures for the Year Book. Under Walter Fenrick, outings were arranged so that members might take picture for adjudication. Many interesting lectures were given by Mr. Wait and Mr. Tait. The members also learned how to operate the movie projector. At the end of each year prizes are given to the members whose work shows the most promise. 48

QBrches1rz1 Again a few faithfu1s have struggled to keep up the exist- ence of a high school orchestra, although lack of violinists has made it very difficult. In the fall we attempted heavy well- known classics, but because the balance was poor, we turned to more modern music. Our first performance was at the Christ- mas concert, followed by selections given at the Little Theatre plays, Festival, school play, and the T.A.M.S. tea. Members of the orchestra are under the able direction of Mr. R. E. Pedersen. Violins-Eileen Krauss, Alex Chernywech. Clarinets and Saxophones-Ewart Kinvig, Don Elder. Trumpets-Herb Zeigler, Glenn MacKenzie, Tom Hulland Jim Burgess. Piano-Joyce Jorgensen. . 11.... Mr. Pedersen: When water becomes ice, what important change takes place? Stephens: Change in price, sir. 47

Doug Martin and Archie Peterson were vice-presidentsg Harold Tate was secretary, and Mr. Cuyler acted as staff advisor. One of the highlights of the year was the series of inter- room debates, won by Irene Tonkins and Bob Stephens. During the year the Club was privileged to hear a former member, Mr. Gordon Campbell, now Canadian representative of the International Students' Service. As in former years members were called upon to give a short speech at the annual banquet. He asked her to wed. Go to father, she said. But she knew that her father was dead, so she knew he knew what she meant when she said: Go to father. 49
